Hi Hi Hi guys and happy new year....
I know I've taken a long time to do this but here's a few piccys of the Blue Beauty getting her respray. The fellas at the place did a fine job even though it was pretty traumatic to see how they did it. I expected some kind of hermetically sealed workshop but that's not the Malaysian way. Now I'm back in the swing of being human again, I'll post up some shots post-respray to show you the results. I think you'll be amazed by the results.
Anyway, I'm back on my feet and raring to go. Plans are afoot to bring her back to Blighty and early next week I launch my new business venture here in the UK. More anon and sorry I've not been too communicative. It's good to be feel normal again....

Hi Hi Hi guys and happy new year....
Pretty damn sexy, eh?
Thought I'd treat myself (finally) to getting the rear seats done as well.
Nice rear...
She's going to look remarkable on a British road...
Hope you enjoy seeing her again.

Hi Hi Hi guys and happy new year....
I thought I'd throw these in for good measure. She's parked at Linda's brother's house, under a porch out of the sun and rain. It's run at least once a week and he takes it out once in a while to keep her moving. Michael has a domestic helper who regularly washes and Hoovers the exterior and interior and I'm in regular contact with him in case he needs to buy anything for it. Jason has already taken her down to his place and given her a little fettling so everything's in tip top nick.

Hi Hi Hi guys and happy new year....
Thanks, buddy. I cannot begin to tell you how much I miss it. I've been quoted a time of eight to ten weeks from pick up to delivery here in Halifax. I've two options, either I hand the process over to a specialist company who do it door to door, (including all the paperwork, number plate, MOT, HMRC liaison etc) or do it myself with all the hassles that will undoubtedly bring. To be honest, the cost savings if I did it myself are negligible if I factor in the faffing and farting about costs. On a side note, sea freight is in huge demand and costs have risen quite a bit since I first began looking into it. Anyway, fingers crossed I can pull the trigger late this year, early next and bring her over. Then I'll truly be a happy man.
She's pretty well travelled, originates in Japan, first two years in East Malaysia (Borneo), then on the mainland peninsula of Malaysia and all being well, spends the rest of her pampered existence in the good old UK.

Hi Hi Hi guys and happy new year....
Ta, Toadster, I'm still madly in lust with her... It's been too long since I've enjoyed a bit of fun and swapping stories with you guys. Nice to be back.

Hi Hi Hi guys and happy new year....
Thanks so much, @Vtechmec. Nice to see you again.
The seats are very nice, aren't they? Thanks for the shout-out for them. I don't know why I held off for so long doing the back seats, but was dead chuffed when they were finally done. Actually, I was a bit nervous in case the upholstery fella didn't have stock of the matching fabric, however after a bit of digging, he came up trumps.
